This strain responds incredibly well to LST. I think I should be able to keep these pretty compact, but still have about 20 prime bud sites per plant. Look how bushy these guys get with one week LST.
At the end of week 5, I did a MAJOR defoliation. See pics. First time using this technique. Plants seemed to respond well and by the end of week 6, I couldn't even tell they'd been stripped, but much more growth was focused to bud sites.
As they are just starting to flower, I top-dressed the buckets with dry organic amendments. 1/4 cup of 4-4-4 and 1/4 cup of 4-8-4.
This is my 7th grow indoors. I grew outside from 1997-2006.
